What do you like best about Signal?

The Note to Self feature, I've used it in Telegram before but having this in my default SMS app is really great. Another feature would be the ability to transfer payments, which as of writing this review is still in Beta but if that's live and works, that'd be a great feature to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think I dislike anything besides the desktop version being super slow at times on Windows, that could be an issue with my OS or laptop but that's a problem I face often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Signal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think Signal is more secure, I just installed it because I was a Google Messges and WhatsApp user before and I don't trust Google or Facebook anymore, so honestly Signal was the last and only option so I was like, why not.
